About Lübeck Blankensee Airport
Lübeck Airport is a minor German airport located 8 km (5.0 mi) south of Lübeck, the second-largest city in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, and 54 km (34 mi) northeast of Hamburg. It is the secondary airport for the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, after the much bigger Hamburg Airport, and is used for a limited number of international and some occasional charter flights. The airport was therefore sometimes called "Hamburg Lübeck" for marketing purposes.
